There was a guy who ported it to IOslaves, which is exactly what is needed (like the IMAP slave, hey, that would be pretty straightforward don't you think?) but he vanished without ever showing any code just after writing 'i have wonderful source for this problem but the margin is too small to contain it'. > Is anyone already working on this?

No; yes: the popmail (what a misnomer) conduit can be extended. KMail could provide a DCOP interface for retrieving messages from a folder (I talked with Till about this at LinuxTag, I think). The conduit could use IOslaves directly. -- As of September 1st, 2004, the University of Nijmegen will _still_ be the University of Nijmegen, but with a different nonsensical adjective in front. _______________________________________________ kde-pim mailing list kde-pim@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-pim kde-pim home page at http://pim.kde.org/
